Nope. Ruby threads all live in the same native thread, and therefore can
only use a single CPU, even if there are multiple CPUs available.

Ok. Thats “bad”. Is this about to change in any near future versions?

I understand that ruby is not for enterprise scale applications but some
kind of SMP-scaling should be available exept for forking (?).
